Edinburgh Iranian Festival events at The Nomads Tent – February 2017

This year The Nomads Tent is delighted to be hosting several events for the Edinburgh Iranian Festival including critically acclaimed play, Mimi’s Suitcase, Iranian dance workshops for all ages, a film and talk exploring tourism in Iran, and a fascinating performance that brings together the works of two seemingly very different poets; Hafez and Burns.

The Edinburgh Iranian Festival runs from the 9th – 19th February 2017 in venues across Edinburgh. The festival shines a spotlight on some of the contemporary talent that Iran has produced – from musicians and photographers to filmmakers – whilst also highlighting the country’s rich traditional heritage, such as its food, poetry and dance.
